The principal objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of EV-077-3201-2TBS given to diabetic subjects over a 4 week treatment period. The secondary aim of this initial Phase IIa study is to evaluate the effect of multiple oral doses of EV-077-3201-2TBS on platelet function, vascular function, vascular inflammation, vascular oxidative stress, renal function and a selection of exploratory parameters and biomarkers in type 2 diabetic subjects, as well as multiple dose pharmacokinetics in diabetic subjects.

In order to ensure the safety of the diabetic subjects, initial parts of the study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EV-077-3201-2TBS. In Part A, the safety of different doses EV-077-3201-2TBS will be investigated in healthy subjects treated for 4 weeks. In parallel, Part B will investigate potential interactions between EV-077-3201-2TBS and ASA in healthy subjects. Part C will then investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of EV-077-3201-2TBS in type 2 diabetic subjects with and without concomitant ASA therapy.

Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) definition for a duration of at least 3 years, on a stable therapy with oral anti-diabetic drugs (OAD) or with insulin, with or without one or two OADs or a glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, or glitazones. Stable baseline therapy is defined as unchanged dose regimen for at least 3 months before administration of the study drug.

HbA1c ≥ 6.0 and ≤ 9.0 %.

History of hyperlipidaemia, with either elevated LDL cholesterol (>140 mg/dL) without therapy, or treatment with statins (NB. Patients on statin therapy must have a 2 week wash-out before they can enter the study).

History of hypertension, either with systolic blood pressure levels between 140 to 160 mmHg without treatment, or treatment with ACE inhibitors or ARB, which should be stable over the previous 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

Abnormal and clinically significant ECG at screening.

Donation of any blood or plasma in the past month or in excess of 500 mL within the 12 weeks preceding screening.

Intake of paracetamol within 7 days before start of treatment.

Surgery or trauma with significant blood loss within the last 3 months before administration of study drug.

Smokers (negative cotinine test required).

Clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results during the screening as judged by the Investigator (one retest within a week is permitted, the last result being conclusive).

Increased risk of bleeding, e.g. subjects with a history of deep cerebral bleeding or known defects of haemostasis with increased risk of bleeding, as judged by the Investigator.

History of or presence of clinically significant diseases such as cancer, clinically significant cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrinological, haematological, dermatological, venereal, neurological, psychiatric diseases, other major disorders as judged by the Investigator, or significant secondary diabetic complications, such as but not limited to clinically relevant peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, diabetic foot ulcers, as judged by the Investigator.

Supine blood pressure at screening, after resting for 5 min, of > 160 mmHg systolic or > 95 mmHg diastolic (excluding white-coat hypertension; therefore, if a repeat measurement on a second screening visit shows values within the range, the subject can be included in the trial).

Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Intake of anti-inflammatory drugs except ASA (dose 75-125mg/day stable for the previous 3 months) within 14 days before start of treatment. Steroid therapy other than topical application is not allowed.

Any treatment with diuretics (hydrochlorothiazide is allowed)

Liver enzymes (ALT and AST) more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.

Any contraindication for a therapy with ASA such as allergy to ASA, including asthma, acute gastric ulcers, haemorrhagic diathesis, renal or liver insufficiency, or heart failure.
